I feel embarrassed for them; so much so that I can&#8217;t help but turn away.  It&#8217;s sick and stupid on their part.<\/p>\n<p>It honestly makes me wonder if any of Trump&#8217;s cheerleaders were ever truly worthy of respect.  Perhaps I was wrong to listen to them, earlier, if this is all they&#8217;re made of.<\/p>\n<p>Being who I am, I have an instinctive revulsion for men who cheer lead for other men.  It looks grotesque.  <\/p>\n<p>Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>As far as Trump&#8217;s actual policies, he has proven himself, thus far, to be a typical GOP stooge.  He has my message but Mitt Romney&#8217;s spirit.  He has shown himself, time and time again, to lack any substance beyond that of any other garden variety GOP politician.<\/p>\n<p>He looks like a hack, frankly, and in his case, it looks even worse than usual, because he has never, ever, stuck with anything at all for very long, ever.<\/p>\n<p>Remember when he was a democrat?  He voted for Obama in 2012 after questioning Obama&#8217;s citizenship back in 2008, remember?  Remember when he was best friends with the Clintons?  I do.  Trump flip-flops at least as much as Romney.  AT LEAST.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t truly believe in anything, obviously.  <\/p>\n<p>Given his history, I can&#8217;t support him, and I wonder WTF the people who do are thinking.  <\/p>\n<p>So, fuck &#8217;em all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m getting tired of others&#8217; cowardice.
